    Blue Is The Warmest Color - La Vie d'Ad?le

    So does the awkwardness start slightly before, or after, you whip it out and go to work?

    Sons of Anarchy

    Yeah, I actually feel bad for Tara. Whenever I said Gunn's character on BB should stop being an irrational twat, I was pretty much advocating for her to act more like Tara. Tara doesn't just sit on the side and bitch about a very real problem while the man struggles to solve it (IE she's a...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    My end game will probably making an enchanter, and my wife making a shaman, or maybe Necro/Chanter, and seeing what kind of crazy shit we can duo together.

    Revolution: season 2

    Basically. The Nanomachines copy themselves and absorb/store electricity. They can also delivery electricity--which is what those little lockets are. Essentially the machines are capable of just about anything if you can write a powerful enough algorithm to control them. The lockets, for...

    Revolution: season 2

    Well, like they don't explain why electricity in the body still works, for example. The rest of the inconsistencies were resolved pretty well if you believe their techno-babble, no one here guessed it was based off of nano-machines, which is why we found it to be bullshit (We were guessing...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    The guy who died with Omar during the apartment ambush? Was one of the guys Omar was based off of, I believe. (Could be wrong, but I think he was one of the two big rip and run guys from the 80's.)

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't seriously tempted to buy some plat for a fungi. I made an alt warrior, and killing Seafuries before work gave me enough to twink him out pretty decently, but one thing I never had on live for my twinking was a fungi. Now that I'm older, and making fairly good...

    Legend of Korra, Book 2: Spirits

    Avatar Kyroshi said this to Aang when he said what you're saying. "I don't see the difference". Then she went on to say she would have killed him if he didn't die there. Then he goes on to ask the other pacifist Air Avatar what she would do and she said the Avatar's duty is to the world, and he...

    Legend of Korra, Book 2: Spirits

    Wait, what? Are we watching the same show? Because in the show I watched, there was an entire episode dedicated to explaining how the Avatars have murdered bad leaders over and over and over again, in the Episode where Aang is trying to find a way to nullify Sozen without killing him...

    Gun control

    I know the first plastic 3D gun was already done. Here is the first metal one. So it begins, I suppose. I had no idea alloy printing was this far along. It's going to be exciting to see how this affects manufacturing over the next 30 years.

    Boardwalk Empire

    Yep. And I think this was really evident in Nucky's massive hypocrisy. When he was like "I handle my business, I don't go getting distracted by a woman."...it was one of, if not the most, hypocritical things I've seen on TV. After last season, for Nucky to say that with a straight face, shows...

    Boardwalk Empire

    Chaos is right. Nucky is being a dick. Chalky went to bat for him when it was completely advantageous for him to fuck Nucky over, and, in fact, VERY risky to be helping Nucky at all (Once Nucky was gone, you know Chalky was next for not swapping sides.). Yet Nucky is ready to refuse Chalky...

    Mikhail and Hodj's Political Thread

    Sorry to necro this conversation. Just caught up with this thread during a slow work day. Thought this picture would do well here. hah. You can do the same chain in Sociology, Macro Economics, Micro, Finance, Statistics, Math. As far as whether it's a "real" science? Well, the thing...

    Marvel TV series coming to Netflix

    Not a huge fan of the characters--rather I'm more excited at the steady death of the normal media industry thanks to producers now actually turning to internet release sources more. Hopefully in 30 years our grand kids will be asking what a "TV channel" is. Can't happen soon enough, the...

    Sons of Anarchy

    Well, if it is based off of Shakespeare--then it should have a supernatural element. So maybe she's just a ghost. It's going to be really stupid if she's not.

    Revolution: season 2

    I know this is an old post, but...This show kills off characters a lot, actually. The kid, hot mexican chick and blonde doctor step mother all died. The problem is, you just do not care about any of theme enough to even register that they are dead. I honestly don't even know any of their names...

    Arrow

    Good episode, but man, can some of the dialogue get painful sometimes. "I know you're a three tour special forces operative....But I trained with the guys who make special forces look like a kindergarten class." I mean, really? Don't make Diggle into Worf, please.

    Pure voluntary forces are considered right/libertarian in slant. Left believes in compulsory service because it does not discriminate based off of social standing, wealth and other social inequalities (In theory). So, for example, in a voluntary force the people that go to war are usually...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    This. The raid scene is awful, but that's mainly because of a mixture of EQ design, and ironically the hands off attitude of the admins. Without admin enforcement, there really is no reason for guilds to set up a rotation, so they train each other in any zone where the GMs don't go. (As far as I...

    The Emancipation Proclimation was delivered after the war began. Before that, the movement to end Slavery was going to be done by changing the constitution with a super majority--which the South was fearful the northerners would get due to new states mostly not being slave states. The fact was...

    Yep, Starship Troopers was Rome in space. The Romans had the same military ideal, you could not hold public office without at least 8 years of military service. We still find watered down echoes of that "sacrifice for the republic" in modern nationalism, it's one reason why it's a huge political...

    Ever, Jane: A New MMO Set In The World Of Jane Austen.

    Bro, the whole novel is about an 18th century douche that starts off by calling everyone in the town ugly and stupid--and he's the hero of the story. Douchieness is trumped by money, even more so than now, especially when money can let you bully people the women dislike. Status (Bitches love...

    Legend of Korra, Book 2: Spirits

    So, caught the origin Episodes and decided to start with the series. Got the end of the Civil War two part. What I don't get is why the Avatar is pussy footing around her uncle. We've pretty clearly been shown that the Avatar ranks above the spiritual lords of the respective realms, here...

    Legend of Korra, Book 2: Spirits

    It's not a retcon at all though. They said in the original the Dragon Spirits "taught us how to fire bend". Notice what the hunters said after he was trained by the dragon? "The way he usedfire, it's like an extension of himself." At no point did they say the dragons gave them the ability to...

    Pacific Rim

    It doesn't matter, Ary's point is it's a projectile weapons system that doesn't have to be mounted in a Jaeger. It can just sit on the big wall. Plasma Cannons, Chest Rockets, Motors (Coyote Tango used them)--all effective. Other than that, we saw, what? 3 Kaiju in the movies ripped open and...

    Oh, so is that why the most advanced, and effective, Jaeger used explosive rockets as weapons?

    Arrow

    He said Brother Blood--don't know much about him, but he was a villain in the Teen Titans. Some kind of immortal, I think, but his main thing was that he was able to indoctrinate and control people. He had like a whole villain army in the cartoon that Cyrborg had to infiltrate.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Yup. He also mentions in the vid that this is probably how they intend to add difficulty. I'm guessing their goal is to lessen it slightly in the tactical battles (By giving soldiers more tools), while adding it to the strategic map (By making research make or break you.) Which is good, in my...

    Arrow

    Pussy, that's when he's interesting. When he's essentially got Spiderman level reflexes (Think movie spider man--sometimes writers go nuts with Spider man too) and can only move about as fast a bullet. He's still very powerful, but can be beaten. God mode he canthink(So it's not just...

    heh, so nearing the end of S1 and they are really pounding home the hints at other Superheros. "I'm need to catch the redeye to central city, I'll be back in a flash." Or how everyone goes to Coast City (Green Latern, if I'm not mistaken?). I'd love to see Flash on TV done with the same...

    Who is she? Someone specific, or just a "League of Shadows grunt"? Haven't seen this season yet, still catching up (Do not care about spoilers). It was my understanding that not everyone in the League was like Batman or Ras, Batman seemed to shit on the normal League members, and Green...

    One more season after this. However, if he is following Hamlet, then Tara should die before the final act--so I'm guessing the season finale is going to have her die somehow.

    Most of the way through the first season. It's no Breaking Bad, but it's tons better than I thought it would be, and I'm enjoying it as a comic-book show. My suspension of disbelief is in full force, but was curious about arrows going through Kevlar (Doesn't matter in the shows context, but...

    Watched Ironclad last night. Was expecting very campy period piece, got a decently acted, but cliche historical fantasy. Essentially a "Magnificent seven" during the siege of Rochester. Has Purefoy. Charles Dance and a lot of other decent actors. If you like Medieval war films, this is worth...
